Connection has always driven me. Like many, I want to understand, to listen, and to form real human links.
I am at my happiest when I am solving problems and creating—when there is flow. I’ve come to believe that flow appears when we are on the right road, and much of my work is helping students find that road too: the path with the least resistance, the one that lets them move forward with ease. That applies to me just as much as to them. Resistance is powerful—but it also points toward what matters.
My own search has always been for home, both physical and beyond. That space is where I create, where I listen, and where I work—with words, with students, with uncertainty. It’s where I invite others to begin.
Welcome.
When sixteen-year-old Michael Cape disappears on the eve of a devastating war, only one person, Marc, knows his whereabouts. Unfortunately for Michael’s mother Layla, a young widow still reeling from grief over the death of her husband, Marc is the one person she was trying to avoid. He's also the only one who could help her.
As Layla and Marc search desperately for Michael, each dead end forces them to confront their own painful histories. As their relationship unravels, they have to face and come to terms with their own tumultuous pasts.
Set against the chaos of the 2006 Lebanese-Israeli war, Birds in the Rain is a gripping story of love, loss, resilience, and the courage it takes to find hope in the darkest moments.
